Controller Knobs

CONTROLLER KNOBS

The 16 Controller Knobs are designed to modify the sound during performance. MIDI Continuous Controller messages are transmitted whenever the knobs are turned (except when “Knob Bypass” is enabled).

Whenever a controller knob is turned, the current value of the knob is displayed on the LED. Next, the letters “CC” flash on the display, followed by the MIDI Continuous Controller assigned to the knob, then the letters “CH”, and finally the MIDI channel on which the knob currently sends. To set the CC channel numbers of the knobs see page 27.

Normal mode

Any MIDI Continuous Controller number can be assigned to any knob. For instructions on setting this from the Xboard, see page 27. For help setting this using the Xboard Control Software, see page 49.

16 Channel Controller mode

In this mode, one MIDI Continuous Controller number is assigned to all 16 knobs and each numbered knob transmits on the same-numbered MIDI channel. This gives you control of one parameter (such as volume or pan) for all 16 MIDI channels. See page 27.

3D MIDI and NRPN mode

Using the Xboard Control software, any of the 16 Controller Knobs can be configured to run in 3D MIDI mode, or NRPN mode. For more information, see page 50.
